This past Thursday started a new chapter in my life. For so long I've wanted to break away from the 20th floor coffin that I was trapped in - also called my office. You see, when I walked through the doors of my office, my soul died a little each day. Oh please don't get me wrong, it's a very great paycheck and benefits package, but in return, I slave away at a job that brings me no fulfillment, no joy, and keeps me from enjoying the best years of my life. It makes me feel guilty for taking time off to be at my daughter's school party or to take her to the doctor. Once we moved to Shelby, I knew that I had to find a way to break away from the drama, the butt-kissing coworkers and the two-faced management. This past Thursday - I finally did it - yes, I resigned from my job. But it didn't happen without a lot of doubt. I wasn't raised with the notion that you just quit your job with benefits if you don't have another "real" job lined up. No sir, what would people think? How will you pay your bills...how will you make it - you're going to ruin your life! Okay - but isn't my life already in ruins because of this job I hate? So I finally decided to override the voices in my head and I decided that I was going to follow my dreams. I've been wanting to put alot of my energy into making my photography business better and offer my clients better products. The only way I could do it was by diving in full-time - without sacrificing my time away from my family. So as of September 9, "Freebird" will be the theme of my life and I'm hoping my wings will soar. I have a ton of ideas running around in my head and new opportunities are on the horizon. Be on the look out for a new blog that will encompass all of my interests - Photography, Cooking and Country-Life. I hope my readers will enjoy following me on my journey and pick up some pretty neat information along the way. You see, life just isn't worth living if you can't share it with this sweet little lady
